I have 2 kids going to this school (1st grade and 5th grade) and I have been satisfied since my first child started. They do awards ceremony every quarter and its always great to have the kids get excited and happy to be awarded for their efforts. They also provide free breakfast and lunch everyday. They have also been doing free backpacks with supplies to all the kids in school. The Principal & Teachers have been wonderful with making sure the kids succeed. I would highly recommend this school.

I have seen teachers go above and beyond to teach their students at this school. They write grants, hold fundraisers, and do whatever it takes to give their students the best resources and community experiences.

My son attends kindergarten here at Dorsa . So far we have been very pleased with the great principal and the caring involved teachers. Ms. Yolanda Villarreal is such a great teacher! We appreciate that she is so accessible. We also enjoy the energy she brings to the classroom that is shared with all of the students. We feel that our son is safe and very well watched over. Overall the school is Wonderful.
